on TV here, we have an Ad for something called "Compare the Meerkat" and it is performed by caricature Meerkats. Vivienne, my mate Phil's wife is absolutely besotted by the characters so I carved her a small model of her favourite meerkat, Mr. Allexandr, which probably is not the smartest thing I've done as according to Phil, "She carries that "b@#$% Ferret (his word) every where she goes. Anyway, for what it's worth, here is Mr. Alexandr, he is 4 3/4 inches high...

Honolulu_Zoo_Honolulu_Hawaii_06.jpgMeerkat with an attitude.....we do not have meerkats but mongoose same family.....cuteness is when the mommy is running across the road and all the babies in a single line behind her....they have long tails so it is very funny. Mongoose always puck a chicken to grocery standards before eating. I have meerkat statues in my yard, you did a great job...sure she will enjoy.

Back a couple of years or so there was a special series on our the Animal channel about the Meerkats. They're quite intelligent. In fact, they have a family of Meerkats at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa across the bay. You've done them service John. Nice carving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q66...shsQl-rUhJpKIO
